what theme and lut?
I think it is a very organic decision, it really depends on the trees i want to use - because not all themes are suitable to use with a base map theme (the original theme you choose that also determines the trees that are offered).
I also look very much how the cliffs and mountains look
and - I do not like it when farm land is too much of a difference in colour from normal land.
So all that determines a theme choice. The LUT can help with making the colours (especially the fields) better for me.

1 important tip - mountains look very different with themes - so if you choose a theme, and make your mountains: you end up using the landscape tools to give them a look - and when you change the theme; all of a sudden they look bland, or ugly, or just meh.
So stick with your theme and LUT as soon as you start mapmaking.

Tell me, How to you decide what theme to use on your map and o yes LUT as well, it is a nightmare between all the LUT's and theme's on the workshop

I have the same problem.... making maps gives me lot more satisfaction

my pleasure. I saw your map on youtube, and I thought when I clicked on your map, I saw it didn't get many subscribers, and you should get more .. you put a lot of work in your map.

I myself like making maps more than building a city ... maybe I have some god syndrome ... but i love to just create ... the real hassle is uploading it to this horrible - not(!) user friendly Steambrowser, it is also a real test to your sanity. because, they make it really hard (and hard to read with the colours, and no to adjust setting either. .. Thank heavens they didn't design Windows or or the Apple operating system) ....... we need to live , love , and learn from the game.
.. and connect people together .... it's all good !!

Thank you Hendrik, one off my first maps

Hello all, this map was reviewed by BonBonB in his What Map review on youtube. And the video is well worth watching, because you get to see the whole map, and all the roads, and the beaches, and everything.
I hope you enjoy the video.
